    winery. Two different colours and two different
    worlds. Istrian Malvasia, the local autochthonous
    variety, gives different wines depending on the
    colour of the soil, and transfers the Istrian terroir
    into a glass of superior wine. Istria has a unique
    position, exceptionally long sunny periods and
    excellent positions for viticulture. Though small,
    Istria has a number of microlocations which give

  • Teran
    A hundred years ago the first, today
    the second most important variety
    in Istria. Similar to Refošk (refosco),
    Teran is a demanding variety - only
    great knowledge and effort of
    winegrowers and winemakers will
    give excellent results. Best results
    are obtained in north-western Istria.
  • The best Istrian winemakers
    say that wine is produced in
    the vineyard. But special skills
    are required to preserve the
    best qualities of grapes and
    translate them into the wine.
    Every year, Istrian winegrowers
    and winemakers present their
    best results of effort and
    knowledge in the traditional
    exhibition Vinistra.
